Greetings,
A fresh set up to start the weekend, which i'm making a "creams only" shave week..i thought it was about time to start giving my shaving creams & certain blades more attention...,Mainly my "Derby extras",..i personally favour them..each to their own opinion.... it's also, the maiden shave using three new items in my growing shaving den , which are ,new ceramic mixing bowl.bought from home bargains yesterday, a Parker 48R & a Franks Shaving synthetic brush...The verdict on all three?..Absolutely superb!,.....the bowl is excellent, whip's up a lather in no time... The 48R & a 22R arrived yesterday afternoon,which was kindly brought to me by a friend....
I have another other three synthetic brushes two unbranded Chinese (1 i bought, the other passed on to me by a mate) and a Omega S Brush, which all perform excellently, but if i was to compare which is the best, then my new FS synthetic would go to the number one spot...I'm really pleased that i bought it... A wonderful addition to my shaving den..
I gave it a quick wash with vosene shampoo before i used it to take out any lingering nasties in the brush fibres, a good warm water rinse, then straight into the mixing bowl, to create a wonderful outstanding lather, which was more than anough for my shave..I won't be so generous with my shaving cream dollop on the next shave.
The 48R/Derby Extra blade', the mid-aggressive razor /non aggressive blade combo worked well together,..resulting in a 3 pass+pickups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.
Finishing the shave off in style with a generous splash of Proraso Green.
My face is feeling smooth, fresh and smelling devine.
Enjoy the start of the weekend,ladies & gentlemen.
